The Spring Knitting and Stitching Show kicks off today and we're so excited to meet you all! We've been working hard at Papercraft HQ to find the perfect project to demo at our make-and-take sessions and we simply couldn't resist this amazing pop-up cupcake card! 

Retro papercrafting is so on trend, so to help you get your cards up to date we've got 33 gorgeous 50's housewife printables by Angela Poole. The fun, fresh and funky housewives are perfect for popping on girlie birthday cards, but they can easily be adapted for all sorts of other occasions! So what are you waiting for? Print them out and get crafting!

We're welcoming signs of spring both outside and in our papercrafts! This fab floral set of patterned papers and embellishments by Naomi Hocking is sure to brighten up your designs. 

Learn how to make fancy-fold cards in our February issue (in shops 18th Jan)! We've got a fantastic Masterclass that shows you how to make cards that twist, swing and cascade using amazing folding techniques.

We're so excited to bring you this bonus project by Sonia Sellers -  a card with a twirling greeting hidden inside! Read on for Sonia's instructions...
